For example, the subject may be something like, "Betfair Poker: Several different blacklisted I.P's have tried logging in to your Betfair Account and several memorable data and password failure were present." If you believe you are the victim of such an attack, please contact the Betfair Helpdesk on the details below, for assistance in protecting your Betfair account and minimizing the risks from this threat.
